Oh you know what I bet I learned it from behind the music and various E shows. Also was I the only one browsing rotten.com? 😳 The amount of useless musical knowledge I hold thanks to Pop Up Video is astounding. The number of times I skipped school for a Pop Up Video marathon is alarming. (I was 16 in 97, latchkey kid to the fullllllesssttt)

Chrishell and Jason are dating?! http://instagr.am/p/CR4VouerwVZ I think the only thing making it a “J Lo effect” is being on a boat. They haven’t dated previously, I don’t think, but he was the one who seriously dated Mary. Romain’s comment made me cackle. I wonder if she means the photo dump with a kissing pic at the end? Idk. Definitely not even remotely on the same caliber as Bennifer.

richard , I should be embarrassed by my breadth of celebrity gossip knowledge and interest; I was obsessed with it all. Around 2004, when pinksithenewblog came out, it was my first and last look of the day, every day. I have loved celebrity news for always while many of my friends couldn't care less. Pinkisthenewblog was my favorite.

The way we all SCREAMED when the Honey video dropped and this happened I mean, this had been the Mariah we had known up to then Honey was such a game changer. It was her first post-divorce song. She came out with such a good song, with the hottest rapper at the time, and in this sexy video. If she brought anything less, she could have been buried by Tommy. Also, it was a bit of a fuck you to Tommy. He apparently screamed at her in front of people a lot. So she’s at dinner with Tommy and a bunch of industry people (pre-divorce) and she says Puff Daddy is really talented. Tommy says Puff Daddy will be shining his shoes in a few years. Mariah said it was one of the few times she stood up to him and told him what he said was racist. Tommy loses his shit at the table with other people present. So, Mariah comes out with her first post-divorce song. Who produces it? Puff Daddy. AND. It also marked her coming into her own and controlling her own career. At the time, Puff had a reputation for being really controlling with his music. Mariah didn’t want that anymore. So she banned him from the studio. Did the vocals herself. Then gave Puffy 100 versions of the track that he could choose from and produce. I’m telling you guys. Once you know Mariah’s backstory, it’s Queen shit.

It's hard to explain now that we know Mariah so well, but to say that this was a departure for her is a huge understatement. I have a VIVID memory of being crowded around the TV in my college dorm (#old) with a bunch of friends watching this video with our mouths hanging open. None of us could believe it - the song, the video, all of it together. It was mind blowing.

YESSSSSSSSSS Queen to all the Mariah stuff.
But also, I was, and still am, a spongey, gushy mess for both One Sweet Day AND Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight. I still love me some Mariah ballads.
I distinctly remember the image change, and I was so confused. I was living the Catholic, midwest life, and I was fascinated that a woman was "allowed" to change herself like that. I may have been her key demographic lol (ETA: I was 17 in '97)

I was 10 in 1997 and no idea Mariah even existed. Cher’s head just exploded.

Confession that each of my kids has given me a random nasty skin fold that I missed washing as newborns. Oldest was her chubby neck. Son was his fat wrist. Newest baby went to the doctor, got her undressed, and found crud stuck in her armpit fold. Luckily I took a wipe and cleaned it before the doctor came in. I hate washing babies. I think I’ve got it figured out and keep being proven wrong. For DS1 it was behind his ear and the area was red and cruddy, and in my stressed out newborn haze, I thought his ear wasn't properly attached to his body and called the hospital in a panic. So...FFWC.

DeuxMoi has a IG story up with a clip of Margaret Cho saying she heard Mariah Carey say she was going to beat JLo's ass (before JLo was famous). I'm trying to find a video clip from the show she was on but failing.

All of you who didn’t know about Tommy need to read or listen to Mariah’s book. It’s required reading; you have earned homework. I need to get it on audio.

DListed was my go-to daily read. Michael K was the funniest man ever. YES. Me and my sister quoted the things he wrote like it was a tv show.

This just brought back strooooong summer camp vibes.
Blue rectangular wood trunk. Bunkmates are pulling out magazines (Jane, YM, etc) and trading pics. Writing postcards while jamming to Mariah on a boombox.
And you better believe 11 year old me brought a black tube top to wear with my Steve Madden slides (super not appropriate for a legit camp).
